DOF (UK) has been awarded a drilling support contract for Skandi Barra by an undisclosed client. Commencement is planned for July.

DOF Subsea has also been awarded several contracts, securing utilisation for vessels in the subsea/IMR projects segment. The first is for Skandi Skansen, which has been awarded a contract by Equinor for mooring installation on the Njord Future project in the Atlantic Ocean.

The company has also secured two contracts on the UK continental shelf from two operators to undertake 60 days of work using Geosund. The works include pipeline inspection and environmental sampling.

In the North America region, DOF Subsea has been granted a three-year renewal of a frame agreement with a major operator in the US Gulf of Mexico. Under the frame agreement, DOF Subsea will be responsible for the final assembly, transportation, and installation of well production jumpers and control flying leads to support new tie-ins to existing brownfields.

The primary installation vessel for the Gulf of Mexico contract will be the Jones Act compliant vessel Harvey Deep Sea.
